Went out to bortle 1 site with our astro group on Saturday.
It was very cold, several layers of clothing were required but the skies made it worth.
The Helix is the favorite flavor at the moment so I tried it in LRGB.
I am not 100% satisfied with the end result as I think I overdid it a little, too much green in the background.

QHY268M, SW ED80, SW HEQ5 Pro, QHYCF, QHYOAG, ZWO ASI120MM mini, Optolong 2" LRGB.
SharpCap for PA, NINA for capturing, DSS and PS for processing.

Gain 56, offset 20
19 x 300s L
20 x 300s R
20 x 300s G
19 x 300s B
Total 6.5 hours of integration.
